Handsomely Gained.

Capt. A. III. Thompson, the well
known efficient and popular city clerk
was yesterday handsomely remember
ed by his office associates in the presen
tationOf gold headed cane, engrav-
ed with his name. The presentation
address was made by w. A. McNeese,
who referred TO Mr.. Thompson's worth
as an official and a citizen and his
popularity with his associates.
Although taken completely by sur
prizes, the Captain responded most
feelingly to the honor conferred upon
him and the entire affair made a
pleasant break in the daily routine
of the city clerks office.

Lost His Cane.

Capt. Thompson, the genial city
register, was considerably put out
yesterday. when he prepared to 90
homes to find his favorite walking
sick missing. The captain is grow
ing old, and has learned to lean on
his staff to an extent which renders its
aid almost indispensable; hence it Is
e2sy to understand whv he should
feel discomforted.at lis loss. A dill
gent search was made, but all to no
purpose, and the captain was about to
start from home without it, when
water collector Rose suggested that
possibly handsome gold headed staff
which occupied the accustomed corner
of the captains stick, might have
been left there by mistake. The cap
tin picked up the new cane to ex-
anime it, and was hot a little surpris-
ed TO find upon it his own name with
the accompanying information, that it
was presented TO him by Messrs.
Rose, Collector Pilkington and other
city officials, who took that means of
sttesting their kindly feelings to the
venerable and genial recipient. A
light began to dawn upon the cap
taiD's mind, and the clouds of disap-
poiutment gave place to a glad smile
of grateful appreciation too big for
utterance. The usual pro-forma COM
pliments and acknowledgements were
gone through. With, and the captain
went home as happy as a boy with
his first pair of breecnes.

The Colorado Road.


The all-absorbIng question i'm Soda.
liza circle, just now, is, where will
the Colorado road be located, and will
it come TO Sedalia? In answer to the
question, the BAzoo can only say that
if the Colorado road adheres to its
determination to build an air line
from St. Louis to Sibley, it will he
Obliged 10 come TO Scdalia, and that
it intends TO do SO is proven by It's
location to Versailles upon that plan.
Under these circumstances, there is
every reason 10 encourage The people
of SeGalia to push their conference
! with IFS managers and pr, sent to
them The many material advantages,
beside that of an ali line, to be gained
by passing through Sedalia; among
which NAV be enumerated the strong
sentiment Of the people east Of Soda
liz along the route for Sedalia con-
nection. From a prominent and well
known citizen of Morgan county the
BAzoo has positive information That the
people of that section are practicallya
unit for such a connection and fully as
confident that it will be made because
of its directncss in an air line route
Stai ting at 1t. Louis the liue Is IA Gir-
ect one to VerSail es and covers the
following points and distances
ST. Louis to Union, Franklin county
to which point the road is built, forty
five miles.
From Union 10 EldOn, Miller
county, eighty seven miles.
From Eldon to Versailles, Morgan
county, sixteen miles.
Total distance from St. Louis to
Versailles. 14S miles or thirty-four
miles less than by the Missouri Pa
cific road, The distance being by that
road, from St. Louis to Upton 1864
miles, Upton to Versailles nineteen
miles.
Starting from Versailles the vari-
GUS routes pl1 Dsed TO reach Sibley in
an air lin, - as follows:
From :sailles TO Sibley, via
Holden, - miles; via Warrensburg,
100 miles via Windsor, 81 miles /;
viz Sedali, SO miles. This gives Sc
dalia an Advantage in distance as
follows: Over Windsor, four miles
Warrensburg, seven miles; Holden,
eleven miles. In addition, the Colo
RADIO road will thus compete with the
Missouri Pacific al of its most i'm
port9nt points, with the advantage of
a shorter route by about fifteen miles
from st. Louis to Sedalia, than that
route possesses.
The entire lines from ST. Louis to
Sibley, as proposed, may be summed
up as follows:
St. Louis to Sibley, via Holden,
252 miles.
st. Louis to Sibley. via Warrens-
burg, 24S miles.
St. Louis to Sibley, via Windsor,
245 miles.
st. Louis to Sibley, via Sedalia,
241 miles.
These Figures cOnclusively show
that Sedalia is not only the preferable
but the shortest route.

Richards Racket.

J AeftCnCts
Il. Il. Richard is a, late arrival and
later departure from Sedalia. Al
though his visit was decidedly brief
he has managed to make q record
that will keep him in remberance of
some of Sedalia's good people for some
time to come. Going to the Mer-
chants hotel he run MS cheek aud a
fine OvercOat for his board for while
and when be got ready to- leave
Thursday he went to Romans livery
stable and hired a saddle horse, re-
| turning To the hO'el he borrowed his
Ovcrcoat 70: short ride in the cOHD-
t.y and skipped out. He has not yet
returned and the presumption is he
has taken much longer
ride than was contemplated
and will not return until he is invited
back by some official clothed with au-
ihOi'ity 40 prevent refusal Oh excuse.
Mr.. Romans has been anxiOusly hunt
ing for his missing steed, and Fred.
Buske is wondering where the pay for
bis grub is to come from. Mr.. HO-
mans heard Yesterday that Richard
had been seen at Ottervllle, but as vet
he has not been captured. Mr.. HO-
mans offers S25 or his arrest.
The horse is a bay, s years old,
shod all around, star in forehead, nat
ural pacer, goes in running walk,
had on leather saddle, b.. idle piecel in
top. Richards is about p years old,
,Ood looking, small mOustache, me-
dunn size, wore while bat, blue over
coat, brass buttons, black coat, pants.
and vest.
LATER.
The BAzoO YESTERDAY made mention
OF the fact that one Il. b. Richards
rad managed to beat Geo. Romans
louf of saddle horse, and jumped a
board bill. Richards was beard of
Friday evening at Otterville. Fol-
lowing up the trail, Steve Romans
the boss thief-cateheT, overhauled the
missing animal, but failed to come up
with Richards by several hours.
After hiring the animal, Richards rode
him to Upton, where he disposed of
him to +. NJ. Wright, a travelling
agent from Charlotte, Michigan,
who is selling patent rights for
lamp-filling and emptying machine.
The consideration received by Rick
ards was the right of Moniteau county
and S25 in money. Mr.. Wright
traded the horse to Mason d Clarke,
he Upton livery men, and departed
soon after for Sedalia, where he ar
rived yesterday, and put up at the
Merchants hotel.
As soon as Mr.. Mason became
aware of the bad bargain he had made
he boarded the train and came TO Sc
dalia to hunt up Mr.. Wright. The
two gentlemen then visited Romans
stable and a settlenen Of the affair
was.made by each standing part ofthe
loss. Steve Romans and Ed. Love
will arrive to-day with the animal.
As 10 Richards no one seems to
know where he is, but it is supposed
he has gone to Kansas City. After
trading off the horse he left his over
coat at the hotel and skipped out
without paying his bill. He went
east on the train, but afterward was
seen going west.

Last night telegram was received
from Fayette saying horse thief was
